Point Reyes: Palomarin Beach

San Francisco: Marin Headlands - Mt Tamalpais - Point Reyes

Palomarin Beach is located on the southernmost tip of Point Reyes National Seashore. This thin, rocky strand is celebrated for its accessible tide pools and seasonal harbor seal populations. A short but steep drop on a spur off the Coast Trail winds through eucalyptus groves and coastal scrub down to the beach, where low tide reveals an expansive honeycomb of tide pools just steps away. Head north for close up views of Abalone Point and sea stacks just off shore, or south for views of the opening to Bolinas Bay, the Marin Headlands, and city of San Francisco.
